grocery store day

Last summer at the store

This year at the store...

 

Then and Now

 

 

 

 

 

Buy some flowers instead!

(Instead of flour?)

A few of my favorite substitutions!

Painless and wonderful.

A step up - not down.

......................................................

Monster w/protein x2

Egg Whites International x2

Salad w/ Avocado, ham, cheese, mixed nut topping, 

and Ranch dressing! An awesome no-cook kind of day.

Water x a swimming pool, almost! 

Not really - just a whole bunch, eh?

....................................................................

BioFreeze - yesterday's boxing finally caught up with me. *creak!*

I might do better with a "guided" work-out at least one day a week!

The rest of the time, I'm ok to pump it up. 

Something about group dynamics changes things, eh?

.......................................................................

I hope you are having a great start to a wonderful weekend!

then and now

(again with the 44's??)

 May 10 [link to me]

Like settling into to a new apartment,

I am "settling in" to my "new" body....

A few improvements here - adornments there....

We all learn as we go

We all do the best we can

It's always a journey of adjustments.

What I thought would make me happy - 

didn't. I can't even fool myself any more.

Much less any one else.

I am trying to be gentle and patient with myself,

As I learn what works and what doesn't work.

Forgiving, but not indulgent.

I would be gentle, loving and patient with you, 

And I am, more so than with myself right now.

But I am learning that, too.

Every pound is a thousand days of self-loathing,

And hate and fear of getting too close...

Every pound on, and every pound off.

Pounds can not define us,

Or join us, or keep us apart.

Thank you for reading !

...................................................

Sick in bed with some kind of flu vs cold

Hot tea and the like all day....

A few bites here and there - no actual meal

I'm miserable, actually.

Just in case you wondered.

Nurses make the worst patients.

*sniff*

This can't be right - can it?

Hope your day is going well!

No need for everyone to be miserable, eh?
